Q1. You need to grant a user the ability to manage all resources within a resource group, including access management for other users, without granting them permissions outside that resource group. Which built-in Azure role should you assign at the resource group scope?
  • A.  Owner
  • B.  Contributor
  • C.  User Access Administrator
  • D.  Reader
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: A. Owner
Owner grants full control including the ability to assign roles to others, scoped to wherever it is applied. Contributor can manage resources but cannot grant access to other users. Reader only allows viewing, and User Access Administrator can only manage role assignments, not the resources themselves.
Q2. An administrator needs the highest availability and durability for a storage account, protecting against both an entire datacenter outage and a regional disaster, while still being able to read data from the secondary region during an outage.
  • A.  LRS
  • B.  ZRS
  • C.  RA-GRS
  • D.  RA-GZRS
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: D. RA-GZRS
RA-GZRS combines zone redundancy in the primary region with geo-replication to a secondary region, and the read-access (RA) prefix allows reads from the secondary even during an outage. Plain GZRS replicates geographically but does not permit reads from the secondary unless RA is enabled.
Q3. An administrator needs sub-millisecond disk latency with independently configurable IOPS and throughput for a SQL Server VM, without resizing the disk. Which Azure managed disk type should they choose?
  • A.  Standard HDD
  • B.  Standard SSD
  • C.  Premium SSD v2 or Ultra Disk
  • D.  Premium SSD
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: C. Premium SSD v2 or Ultra Disk
Premium SSD v2 and Ultra Disk both allow IOPS and throughput to be tuned independently of disk size, delivering sub-millisecond latency for the most demanding workloads. Standard HDD and Standard SSD are throughput-limited by size and unsuitable for high-performance SQL workloads. Premium SSD offers good performance but ties IOPS and throughput to the provisioned disk size, unlike v2 or Ultra.
